Chicken Cordon Bleu Quesadillas are a crispy, cheese-melted delight combining tender chicken, savory ham, and creamy cheese wrapped in golden tortillas. Perfect for a quick, satisfying meal that blends classic flavors into a fun handheld dish.

Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded or diced
  • 1/2 cup cooked ham, diced
  • 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese or Gruyère cheese
  • 2 tablespoons mustard (preferably Dijon)

Other

  • 4 medium flour tortillas
  • Butter or oil, for cooking

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, diced ham, shredded cheese, and mustard. Stir thoroughly to distribute the mustard evenly and mix the ingredients for a flavorful filling.
  2. Assemble Quesadillas: Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread half of the filling evenly over one half of the tortilla. Fold the other half over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
  3. Cook the Quesadillas: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of butter or oil. Place one quesadilla in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy and the cheese inside has melted completely. Flip carefully using a spatula to avoid spillage.
  4. Serve: Remove the cooked quesadilla from the skillet and let it cool slightly before cutting into wedges. Serve warm with optional sides like salsa, sour cream, or a fresh salad.

Notes

  • Use flour tortillas for best crispiness and structural integrity.
  • Cooked chicken and ham can be prepped ahead of time to speed up assembly.
  • Swiss cheese is traditional for cordon bleu flavor, but Gruyère or mozzarella works well too.
  • Adjust mustard quantity to taste – Dijon adds a nice tangy kick.
  • Use a non-stick skillet and moderate heat to avoid burning the tortillas.
  • Optional: Add a sprinkle of black pepper or herbs for added flavor complexity.
